We had a few good bike adventures at Fort Stevens. Our bikes parked on the beach were quite a site. We didn't bike all that far, but it was good to get out and see the park and the girls seemed to enjoy the entire weekend.

Amelia fell asleep on the car ride home from Astoria. She and Abby both were pretty tired as we left after lunch on Monday. Peter actually took a day off. We had a great time with the grandparents camping at Fort Stevens. We were pretty lucky with the weather and had our successful third camping trip of the summer!

What a great annual tradition! The Providence Bridge Pedal is one of my favorite Portland events. We rode with Dad and Chris and had an awesome time.

We got lucky that we started with the first groups because some of the traffic control was terrible and resulted in delays of more than an hour for some people. I emailed to volunteer, but haven't heard anything yet.

One of my favorite memories will be Abby on top of the Fremont Bridge saying that she wanted to be finished with the ride. We coaxed her to continue by offering rubber snakes and ice cream. When we asked what flavor she wanted she said in a very emphatic way.... Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I don't think I knew that she had ever had that before, so that was a bit of a surprise.
